I'll be finishing up community college this fall and transferring to UIC for EE. What should I write in my personal statement? And how long should it be?

They didn't give you guidelines? My university was very specific about the questions they wanted answered and the word length of the responses.
 
I wanted to check but I am locked out of admission application login for excessive failed tries. I will have to call Monday. I swear to god I entered my pin right.
